Won’t anyone think of the poor cars that would have lots to park in no longer?

Paywall, but the URL divulges that it’s Menlo Park.
Echoing what the other commenter said, this is a problem throughout Silicon Valley and all the way up the peninsula, and it’s not getting any better. I had to move my family out of there.

“This month, the city issued a request for proposals to transform three downtown city-owned parking lots into at least 345 units of affordable housing near public transit and local businesses.”
The counter argument and lawsuit claims that the Mayor and thus the City are removing much needed parking spaces that would force anyone in the area to either sell their vehicles or pay exorbitant fees for paid parking.
Menlo Park doesn’t have hardly any parking to begin with and there’s no such thing as 'affordable ’ in the entire SF bay area.

More housing benefits everyone, though.

Assumed it was either there or Palo Alto.
